1969 Map of Houston

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The William B Bankhead National Forest dominates the upper half of this terrain, where the deeply carved channels of the Sipsey Fork and its numerous tributaries like Payne Creek and Grindstone Creek create a complex drainage network. To the south, the landscape is defined by the winding reaches of Lewis Smith Lake, featuring distinctive water-bound landmarks such as Beasley Bend. This 1969 survey captures the area as it balanced conservation and utility, shown by the proximity of the Natural Bridge Recreation Area to the County Municipal Airport. Small rural centers such as Moreland and Houston serve as anchor points for local history, connected by a web of country roads that pass by established community landmarks including Barnett Chapel, Adair Chapel, and the New Home Ch.
